Is 18-Year-Old Borna Coric Who Defeated Andy Murray The Next Superstar In Tennis?

When Borna Coric of Croatia defeated Rafael Nadal in 2014, it was considered to be a fluke. Eighteen-year-old Coric, who ranked 84th in professional tennis at that time, said in January: “When I’m at my best, I am more like Djokovic, game-wise; when I’m not, I’m more like Murray.” On Thursday when he won against Murray in the quarterfinal breaking him three times in the first set, he was hailed as the next superstar in men’s professional tennis.

And wouldn’t it be awesome if he goes on to beat Roger Federer in the next game and meet his mentor Djokovic in the final to take home the prized trophy beating the top four within a span of six months?
